Donor management software tools for nonprofits. This list came about from a 2008 NTEN customer satisfaction survey on donor databases and Idealware’s 2009 low-cost database guide. Those surveys built on earlier vendor lists and some Campbell Research customer satisfaction surveys. I kept getting requests for a comprehensive donor database list so I put them all together in one place.

The 2009 DevSummit was the third annual convening of people and organizations developing software tools, web applications and other technology to support social justice causes. Bringing together a diverse range of users, developers, technologists, managers, eRiders, integrators and other practitioners who self-identify under the umbrella of “developing nonprofit software”, the event provided an opportunity both to gather as a community and to take stock of the field, while building connections and capacity.
